Love those Indian motorcycles!
They just keep getting better and better !👍
For sure. I am impressed with them.
Thats a good looking bike. So much storage on it. The little leg flap thing was cool for more airflow. That guy dumping the bike in front of everyone, man that sucks.
Thanks yeah the storage is amazing. He got lucky that he was at parking lot speeds and didn't get hurt and the bike only got a scratch on the exhaust pipe.
Extremely informative on this bike.
Thank you
Awesome bikes! I have a 116 Chieftain Dark Horse, amazing!
Nice.
I actually like the bike and looking forward to purchasing one real soon!
Nice.
Bike looks and rides awesome. I ended up going with a Challenger though.
You should have taken her on the highway and give her the beans. No worries, they have GPS trackers on those bikes at demo days. They know where they are.
I know I should've taken her out on the hwy. I liked the challenger a lot when I Test rode that. Like the Fram mounted fairing.
SWEET
That bike looks and sounds awesome.
It is a powerful bike as well.
This is a beautiful bike!!
It sure is and the price is getting up there as well.
The 2022 Roadmaster has the antenna attached to the side of the tour pack. I'm picking mine up tomorrow from Mall of GA Indian !
Congrats on your purchase. Ride Safe BBG marine.
Indian motorcycle! Great Bike!
Sure is.
Test rode the roadmaster limited. Really nice bike. Good job with this bike indian. The 114 is a little smoother I think, but they are similar.
Agree on the 114 being smoother. Thanks for watching.
I like that color altogether would like to have it in a three-wheel set up.
I saw this is matte white and that looked really good with the black accents. I haven't seen a 3 wheeled Indian, that would be cool for sure.
Should keep one Indian model with air cooling and optional full valenced fenders and traditional paint scheme. Maybe a traditional looking, simpler, smaller, much lighter model looking like the 40's Sport Scout, very little electronics. It may be that changing international emission control requirements are driving cooling system requirements.
Ya I would like to actually have this one I Test rode as a second bike in the garage it was very comfy. The super chief I rode was very good as well. Small bike with a huge punch and some amenities like cruise control and saddle bags. Could be on the emissions part for example the EU is pretty strick there.
regards from Poland!!!
Ayeee thanks for watching.
FRAME MOUNTED FAIRING !👍
👍🏼
Can store lots of twinkies with all the storage and the pizza oven to boot!!
Nice ride tho!
For sure lol.
The reputation is that Indians are better bikes than the HD's and they also give more on the standard models in terms of technology, etc than HD.
Performance wise I will give Indian bikes that. But as far as quality of the bike I will have to give that to Harley. When it comes to standard tech I give that to the Indian as well but if you notice their bikes have been slightly higher priced than the Harleys. But these days they both cost way too much imo.
I like the top opening saddlebags. Big bike. How good is the suspension, comfort? Very attractive understated. Honda Helix?
I do too, especially since my last bike had side opening saddle bags and everything would just fall out around the straps. Suspension was very good and comfortable. I'm sure it had adjustable rears. I was thinking Honda PC 800.
Luv Indian. I like that color. I wonder if changing windshield would change buffeting?
It should change with a taller windshield.
Victory Motorcycles have their top boxes opening the same way.
Ah I see that is why these ones open the same way.
@@RideAboutNow Yep, I have a Vic Cross Country with a tour pack and I love the bike. If you're ever up in Eastern NC - North of Fayetteville, I'll let you review it if you want. God bless, stay safe.
@@UnApologeticPatriot Nice. For sure, I'll take you up on your offer when I'm up there in the future. Thank-you.
Yeah, I'm heading to a Can Am due to shattering my elbow and can no longer hold up a large bike if it gets a little too much lean on me in a parking lot or red light.
I suggest a spyder as they have power assist handle bars.
LOL, looks like the dude tucked the front end and hit the front breaks...I bet that will be a little charge on his Master Card? LOL
That is my guess to as what happened UT I think he got away scott free. Only a scratch on the factory slip on.
I test road the 114 Road Glide ultra, and it did not come close to the power of the 116.
Oh I bet. But I will.say that the Harley is more refined than the Indian. The Indian bikes have that raw power.
@@RideAboutNow Yeah, when I test rode the Harley, you can tell that it was a more refined raw bike. I did like it none the less. The only gripe I had about the Road Glide was the suspension. It felt like the front and rear were not on the same page and doing their own thing. But I sure there are aftermarket options to alleviate that.
@@DJGENOTYPE agree on all accounts especially the suspension.
Yeah like HD are REALLY EXPENSIVE 🤔😲😂😂😂
LoL.
I think you’re on a 2021.
It said 2022 at the dealership. Could be a 2021
Fit and finish is horrible on that bike. The cap in flap on the top of the fairing would drive me nuts. The ones i have ridden always had little rattles in the fairing and the lines never lined up
Agreed. They have a bit to go on the fit and finish part but once they get there they will sell more bikes.
The flap is not installed correctly which is why it’s off like that. It just needs to be adjusted. I own a 2020 and I broke mine and replaced it. If you don’t put the pin in all the way it will look like that. I have that white smoke… cause it SMOKES harleys😂
Its looks ok, but i really hate the dash set up and the mat colours are the same year after year after year. I was looking at a Chieftain & Challenger in August 2021 along with the Street Glide, i went with the Harley, i have 2 other Harley's also but to me it just felt better and looks better and i cant get over that dash, just ugly setup.
I agree. The first thing I felt was a difference between the quality of materials. The Harleys are a step up in refinement and quality.
@@RideAboutNow Harley is far more refined and the seemingly infinite amount of performance upgrades is awesome compared to very little at Indian
@@snakebite6511 Harley has been around consistently forever. Of course the aftermarket is gonna be much larger. Unless Harley goes away Indian will never catch up. But the aftermarket will grow with time.
@@myronmosley2167 which is why i will never buy an Indian
@@snakebite6511 i think never is a word that people should rarely use. You may be right, but who knows, a few years down the road indian may come out with a bike that has literally everything you wanted in a bike besides exhaust because we all know stock exhaust is always garbage due to EPA regulations. Would you turn that bike down just for the name? I used to feel the same about Harley because of their racist history, which is fairly recent, but then I said f*** it and rode one and now I'm trying to decide between 2 Harleys and 3 Indians. Gonna test ride them all to confirm which one fits me the best but like I said before, originally I said never, now not one, but two of their bikes are on my maybe list.
Not crazy about color .
Yeah me neither. I mean it's okay but not the color I would choose.
I like the dark horse, hate the colors.
Yeah not sure why they can't come out with 5 or 5 cool colors rather than 1 apart from black and white.
Indian Bikes! Yeah... boring 🙄
LoL
Yeah Harley for posers and sheeple.
🖤Woman, Life, Freedom💚🤍❤️
Cool.
